Michael T. Forrester

Overview

I am a physician scientist specializing in fibrotic and interstitial lung diseases. These are a broad group of lung conditions with a wide range of underlying causes. In many cases, the causes are largely unknown. Shared between these illnesses is the final outcome of lung fibrosis, or replacement of normal lung tissue with collagen.

His top area of expertise is Liver Failure.

His clinical research consists of co-authoring 11 peer reviewed articles. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.

I am from Rockford, IL and I'm a general surgeon. I always thought I would be a cancer doctor but never a surgeon. It turns out I enjoyed operating. I enjoy the immediate gratification of surgical treatment whether it's removing an appendix, or fixing an incarcerated hernia. I love Durham, NC as does my wife and two children. We look forward to staying here for a very long time and being a part of this community. Dr. Fong is highly rated in 10 conditions, according to our data.
